Your Choice Records[1] was a German independent record label that was founded in 1988 by producer Tobby Holzinger. The label[2] specialized in independent punk music, including live releases of German and other international acts.[3] Holzinger provided a share of the record sale profit to various animal rights organisations.
The label maintained a strict DIY ethic, producing all of its albums by itself and selling them at discount prices without the help of major distributors.
Your Choice Records existed in the early days of hardcore, inspired by the spirit of labels like Dischord Records, Alternative Tentacles, SST Records and Touch and Go Records. Early releases by Your Choice were relatively well-produced compared to other punk live recordings of the time.
